Subject: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron


Hello All,



This is my first post here.  I joined recently because I found a lovely 
nickel-iron meteorite, and that has spurred my further interest in this 
subject.  My meteorite has been confirmed as the real thing by staff of the 
Meteorite Lab at Portland State University, who would like to perform 
classification.  It is 11.2 kg, and according to PSU staff, it will be only 
the seventh classified meteorite ever found in the state of Oregon.



I’ve enjoyed reading these archives, but I haven’t yet been able to find 
answer to my question.



I’m posting here to ask if anyone has any experience cutting an iron 
meteorite with the CBN blade that is sold by Johnson Brothers Lapidary. 
They advertise it as just the thing for cutting irons.  I’m interested to 
know anything about blade life, rim speed, feed rate, and using plain water 
as a coolant/lubricant.  For cutting the analysis sample, I have machining 
experience and very suitable tools, except for the blade, which I would like 
to be a circular blade.



I welcome replies here on the forum, or by private email.



Kind regards,

John
